It is Tuesday Jan. 20, 2009 and I am in San Francisco, CA. It is just a bit after 1 p.m. Since I left Sydney NSW at about 4 p.m. on Jan 20, 2009, one of my goals in life has been achieved. I have traveled back in time.

This was the sunset as seen from Sydney on my last night in Australia.

It’s sad to be leaving.

It seems that there wasn’t a week in Australia whern I didn’t hear Johnny Cash’s music. Elvis is also played very much. On Monday afternoon, I heard (at a Cuban cafe) Edith Piaf.

There will be more to post later. They sell mixed cocktails in a can in Oz and call them RTD’s (Ready to Drink.)

I may have become dependent on sausage rolls.

Today started at (of course) midnight in Sydney a little after 1600 hours I will get on a jet and head for San Francisco. I think the flight takes 17 hours and I will arrive in SFO at just about this time (It’s 10:38 a.m. on Jan. 20, 2009) and will have about 14 hours more of this day left. That adds up to about 47 hours. When I arrive in San Fran, I will try to post another report at noon (or so) and when the day is over, there will be a new president of the United States and I will have traveled a good number of miles, and then it will be time to look for new information to post on this blog.

We took a picture of him, but we can’t post it because we don’t have access to a computer that takes floppy disks, so we will have to run an update with photo later after we get to a place (Sydney?) where we can post a picture that is on a floppy disk.
